I have been pleasantly surprised at his performance. He has main tanked Nexxus and off-tanked AN & OK so far..
He's such a brick, nothing phases him! He's the ultimate leveling pet, I can sick him on 4 or 5 mobs and burn them all down and not have to worry a bit.

I'm also loving my gorilla for tanking/ AoE grind levelling.
We did a run to Utgarde Keep, and couldn't get hold of a tank. So almost as a joke I suggested my pet tank. He kept aggro wonderfully, did his job, and made the priest happy with Blood Of The Rhino ("OMG12KCRITSLOL").
Since then he's tanked Nexus (has some issues on the last boss, fairly sure that was my micormanagement tho) and Azjol Nerub.
BM Hunters are the new offtanks?

All I've got to say on this is, after seeing level 80 heroics, don't plan on your pet tanking much. We had tanks in full sunwell gear getting ripped.
aw dont tell me that KR >.<
Well I can say my Gorilla has made me very happy this weekend. Ive solo'd every quest so far. At 72 I was soloing 75 and 76 elites with ease. Threat: Definitely not an issue with an MD to open. An example, the quests in New Hearthglen where you have to kill the 75 elite general and theres an 80 elite standing beside her to scare the crap out of you. Well i was there and then another group of allies. A T5 prot warrior in that group. I let them get the first kill and helped em out a bit. They stuck around (decent chaps for alliance ~_^) to help me out. Well I MD's to Knuckles and tore into the chick, the tank tried everything he could to get her off of my gorilla but it just didnt happen. He had around 50k threat and i was blowing all CD's. Somwhere around 1600tps.

LOL.....I ran the same quest...saw that 80 elite and thought "CRAP". I had a priest duo with me......she just healed my gorilla...while I fired away......had to switch to viper to regen mana...and then back to hawk and away we went.
Gorilla never lost aggro once. I can't even COUNT how many alliance folks I( jumped in to help in teh village at Wintergarde...they were being overwhelmed by the massive numbers of mobs hitting them at once. just send gorilla in, he thunderstomps...and pulls mobs off. I misdirect...and drop a volley. I got thanked over and over...and Gorilladin got petted a host of times by thankful folks. Having him is like duoing everything.
